Notes for folks who want to go faster: - Make the fuselage skinnier and longer. Fit the batteries closely and eliminate excess volume. - Switch to an H-wing rather than an X, increase the wing span and minimize the distance from the motors to the main wing. This gets most of your wing area available for lift. - Use an actual asymmetrical wing section to reduce parasitic drag from lift. - Mount the wing with some fixed angle of attack to shift lift from the body to the wing. Body lift seems free when you just consider parasitic drag. But consider induced drag and suddenly it's not so awesome. You want the wing making lots of lift in cruise and the body closer to neutral. Given how big your fuselage is compared to your wing, you'll always get a lot of fuselage lift. - Polish that surface! At that scale, you want surface deviations that are *tiny*, like under a thousandth of an inch.
At these speeds you get all the body lift you need from 1 degree angle which means there is almost zero induced drag. No need for wings because the body is pretty big dictated by the battery size.
@@Mike-Bell How much does it weigh, about 3 kg? Body is about 15 cm diameter? Hmm. You're right. At 450 km/hr, sea level air density, dynamic pressure is 9600 Pa. Induced drag from 30 N of lift is maybe 1.7 N, which is 210 watts of drag. If you figure your ESC, motors, and props have a combined efficiency of 50%, that's 420 watts from the battery, or 2.5% of your battery power. I still wonder if there's a way to make it skinnier. What batteries do you use?
Well done Luke and poppa! I love the family bonding and time spent together on this and other projects from you guys. Cherish these moments together, and cheers from one father to another!
I'd love for this to be the start of a back and forth between one small youtuber, and a multi-billion-dollar company, one-upping each other on drone designs
@@wizard101stormdude I was referencing the fact that it has sorta already started. He originally got the record, then Red Bull beat it, then he beat it again.
Congrats on the new record. You are helping to push the boundaries of FPV racing drone technology!! For a while, most quadcopter companies were so focused on 3 inch, small, light weight drones. Now there is a swing back towards 5-10 quadcopters with S8 batteries and monster ESC's. Soon we will push into S10-S12 monsters and quadcopters that can maintain flight well over 1-3 hours! It seems like every month some inventor in their lab also comes up with another use case for quadcopters. Whether it be chasing F1 cars, flying in the air and water, product delivery and a host of defensive/offensive war tech.

I don't think they were using "Nirmal operating conditions" in this video. Batteries have a C rating, which indicates how much output they can deliver. This clearly exceeded that rating, as the batteries caught fire.
I’m curious why you’re using such a conventional design for your props. There are more efficient, powerful designs that are used in real aircraft that could be scaled down that could offer all sorts of advantages.
Availability. Printed props wont last a second in that application. Similar when there’s hype about toroidal props. And Injected molding is super expensive to setup
@@LukeMaximoBell1 What about sintered metal. Again, I’m no expert, I’m just asking. I am fascinated by this stuff. I fly professionally and over the past 15 years or so there have been some really neat advancements in prop tech for actual aircraft. I’m not sure what kind of RPMs your props are seeing but I imagine it is on par with something like a modern turbo prop. In that area more and more older aircraft are seeing their three and four bladed props replaced by 5, 6, and 8 bladed props with modified shapes like paddle board and modified tips. There are a few companies playing around with contra rotating designs that are interesting, making kind of an external jet prop. These mods greatly improve performance in thrust, airspeed, noise, and fuel efficacy which that last part may or may not relate to improve battery life. One of my hobby’s is shooting and there have been some really impressive strides made in metal 3D printing. There are a few suppressors on the market now that simply couldn’t be made without a 3D printer. The pressures involved in containing hot gasses from a muzzle blast are exceptionally high. I can’t imagine that something like that would fail in your application. Composites and hybrid composites likewise have proven to be very durable. It would be interesting to see these strides getting scaled down to use in UAV/drone tech. Good video on the subject th-cam.com/video/ojVNOj-q3SQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=L-SVxDF0cBbn48dT
@@SuperTrb0 and to add, the bigger prop size is the more efficient it is. So just by scaling down props in jets or boats doesn’t guarantee itll be efficient and economical.

Amazing, guys!
Such amazing development! That's exactly the approach I could apply if had enough time and resources...
Maybe some unfortunate experiments could be saved by a little electrical engineering knowledge (example - the thickness of the power wire), but with a simple and well planed experiments - this is also possible...
Big CONGRATS from Bulgaria!
I'm 65 and that's is the wildest this I've seen in my life.
I've been in the jump seat of a P-51 going nearly 400 mph, but this would keep up. Wow.
Congrats. Like that Blender was part of the design team. Keep at it, the sound barrier is not far off.
Blender is brilliant!
Absolutely amazing man! Congratulations!!!!
Simply Incredible and i just love to see more💖💖
Awesome record congrats! What airfield was the attempt filmed at?
WOW, just wow. Congratulations.
170 A @42 V is quite impressive - no wonder the wires were a little bit too thin... ;) Great job! I think I need to pick up the drone building again as it is so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration!
